HIStory making screenwriter and filmmaker, Chris Bergoch, was an entertaining, inspiring, informative, funny, Valentine. His host was a starving, manic, maniac, but he overcame. Ignore me and focus on this wunderkind, who starting making movies at age 9, with his mother behind the camera. There was never a Plan B. From NYU’s Film School to Greg The Bunny on Fox, starring Eugene Levy, Seth Green, and Sarah Silverman, to Indies: Starlet, Snowbird, Tangerine (guerrilla shooting on iPhone 5s), winning loads of awards along the way, leading to his current multi-award-winning feature (55 and counting), The Florida Project, earning Willem Dafoe, an Oscar nomination––Chris is laser-focused on telling the stories which intrigue and thrill him. Universal truths prevail through the mouths of babes who inhabit welfare hotels, trans hookers searching for their pimp, taxi drivers looking to score something they won’t find at home––all seeking what they don’t have. And, love. This is a man who writes what he sees, and through his exploration, comes to know. Chris offers invaluable insight on preparation, process, the pitch, collaboration, fearless pursuit of creative excellence, and authenticity, on screen, and off. Living his dream. I loved every minute of this, got so much out of it––if only someone would’ve fed me some of those chocolates and shut me up. Chris makes it worth putting up with me.
